Dear friend,

We have some exciting news to share from Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage. This September we are launching our new global campaign, Power to Girls. The campaign will call on decision makers to take urgent action to end child marriage and remove barriers girls face to accessing their power. We need your help to make it happen.

This month we are bringing the movement together at two events, to launch the Power to Girls campaign and to mark 10 years of our global Partnership.

These events are key moments to celebrate the progress we’ve made to end child marriage and mobilise our movement to achieve our joint goals, so all girls can achieve their dreams and decide their own future.
